The National Quality Framework for Early Childhood Education & Care require the following child/staff ratios:

1 educator for every 4 children under 3 yrs.

1 educator for every 11 children over 3 yrs.

Children are placed in rooms according to their age and developmental needs. Children may transition up a room during the year if a space becomes available and if the child is ready. This happens in consultation with staff, families and children.
